Years ago, I found myself at a crossroads, grappling with a major life decision that seemed to weigh heavily on my soul. Through prayer and patience, I discovered the invaluable lesson of waiting for divine clarity. Today, we explore how listening to God's voice can guide us through life's pivotal moments, such as the heart-wrenching decision of divorce, by drawing wisdom from Isaiah 30:21 and Isaiah 42:16. We'll discuss the spiritual art of waiting and the importance of aligning our timing with God's presence to avoid regrets and ensure we are on the right path.

The journey continues as we delve into the concept of divine illumination, exploring how God's wisdom can light our way in daily decision-making. Inspired by biblical figures like Zachariah and enriched by insights from Pastor Greg Laurie, Carla Bowshier and I talk about the Holy Spirit's role in guiding us to truth. Personal stories serve as a testament to the importance of recognizing God's open doors, like a church member's transformative experience at an adoption conference, and the importance of discerning the people God places—or removes—from our lives.
